Hey guys I’ve been going back and forth on the AEV lift. I just sold my JKU with a 4 inch Superlift. Have a JLUR on the way. I know Superlift isn’t talked much on here but i liked the look of it because it sat so tall with 37s

How tall is the AEV 2.5? I’ve read just about everywhere that it’s more like 3.5 if you don’t load the truck up with all the extra weight. Def want comfort which AEV seems to provide. But looking tall is a big thing for me

Also AEV recommends BFGs for tires, anyone running anything else on this lift? I know BFGs run small and I’m all about height. Also light tire with not much road noise would be a plus

Ours was about 3.5” actual increase. I stayed at 35 BFG KO2s so can't help with the tires.

Any idea how tall it is ground to roofline?

75 3/4" at the rear, 73 3/4" at the front of the roof before it starts sloping down to the windhield.

37” KO2s. This was shortly after the AEV lift. It has settled since then.

We are running the cooper at3 xlt in a 37" tire but measures 35.5 overall diameter. So far we are loving the tire. It's super quit and so far has done well offroad. I love the ride of the aev lift and it flexes pretty well. Plus there is almost zero maintenance. It's about 76" to the roof and about 80" to the top of the rack.

Looks great, sits pretty tall too. Any idea what the measurements are at the roofline?

Oh just remembered - I'd definitely recommend adjustable track bars. Some kits may come with them, AEV does not. I went with Teraflex, and have ARB diff covers. No clearance issues I've found.

My apologies, I just added them.
I’m concerned with getting it in my garage my old 4 inch sat 78 measured at the middle of the hard top

I have a standard 7ft door and mine fits in the garage no problem with the rack on it. I still have probably 2-3 inches of clearance.
